When I download the package, it contains the certificate and a SLICASP5.13 file. I can't seem to find anything about this file extension. I would appreciate any help I can get on how to flash this type BIOS.

You mean ?? See for instructions.... you need AWDFLASH to flash from dos

Thanks for the comments. Yes, that's the mod I'm looking at (thanks for the link since I can't post them yet!). I've followed these instructions before successfully. However, I've always had a .bin file when using AWDFlash tool from DOS. This is a .13 file and I guess I'm a little nervous to try the same procedure when it's not a .bin extension. Is this the same type file and I just replace the .bin file name in the AWDFlash procedure?

As the mod is confirmed, then it should worked for you. Try to flash the file with AWDFLASH; if it willn't accept then rename it

I'm a little nervous to just "try" and see what happens. HP has a windows flash tool and maybe it lets you choose the file (I don't know because I've used the DOS method as instructed here). I'd appreciate any other comments that would confirm that I just use AWDFlash with this file extension.

I finally got around to attempting to load this. Now I have a problem (of course it's my dad's computer that I mess up on). Anyway, the bios flash appeared to go well and then reboot. However, when it rebooted, it looks like the bios defaults load and then I get the following message:

RAID option ROM Vesion 3.0.1545.55
Cam read disk error!

I can't get it to boot and I can't get into the boot selection menu using F10. Any idea on what is wrong and how to fix it. I pulled the battery to try and reset the BIOS but same problem.
